Helmand Kabobi Cafe - Baltimore

First time there. Went around 1:45 on a Friday, place was empty. I was ordering takeout. Very surprised by the ambiance of the interior as it was totally unexpected based on the exterior. The traffic on Wolfe street seems to hide this neighborhood gem. The hostess was super nice explained the menu as I'd never eaten Afghan food before. Ordered the beef kabob meal. Food was good. wait wasn't long. Price is average. Would like to stroll back over dine in so I can get the full experience explore the menu more. Yes I'd recommend.

Excellent. I particularly like the Kabuli Pallow and the pumpkin and pepper appetizers. It will feed two persons if you get the latter and an additional side.

Wow!!! Delicious and flavorful food. I was in town for a meeting and our group dined at this restaurant and was it a delight. The food was so tasty and fragrant. We ate family style and had several choices. We had the grilled steak, lamb and chicken. Theeggplant and pumpkin appetizers were great. My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE of all the dishes were the meatballs with the cumin basmatirice and the lamb with rice and carrots and raisins on top. Dinner was great. The owner (father and daughter) were very gracioushosts. If you?re in town, you should definitely stop by. Oh and the Portuguese white wine was a nice accompaniment to my meal.

If you live in the area or work at Johns Hopkins hospital, DO NOT IGNORE THIS RESTAURANT !! The Helmand on Charles Street is its heritage, and the food at this restaurant is simply divine as well. If you have never had Afghani food or put off becauseit may have too many spices? Fear not. If you are a vegetarian or vegan, you are welcome. The food is perfectly seasoned, takeit from someone who has been in the sand pit area TRUE AUTHENTIC AND VERY WORTHY ????????????

First time visiting. The ratings did not disappoint! Just what I was looking for- tasty food! Yummy lamb, in out super fast! Very polite efficient service. Worth going out of my way to go uptown. I'd definitely return! The atmosphere looked attractive, but I had carry out. I must say, I had no wait no issues! Awesome experience!Food: 5/5
